Problem is while I do not want to get blown out every game, we actually need MORE L's for the only major draft pick that we will have
If we repeat what we have been doing by winning meaningless games, we will be screwed if we take ourselves out of the shot of having the #1 overall pick for OK4


Westbrook/Curry


Vucevic


Mason Plumlee

are some players that were picked RIGHT before us, especially with Vucevic and Mason, both of which would chagne our dynamic of the team
We also didn't draft Bynum and Gobert when we could have, including Hibbert/DenAndre Jordan and many C's when we didn't have a PG or Center of the future, PG's include Holiday/Lawson

If we were Philly/Boston I would agree with you, as they have MANY picks and many young players, and salary cap to acquire players, however, we are very limited so this draft is much more important to us
We don't have the ability to be wrong on the pick


As of right now, we do not even know if we are doing a full youth movement/rebuild or a 1year fix with trying to win with CA starting next season

I would give up the five percent for building culture and making this a more desirable place for FA's. Right now, nobody has any interest in coming here unless we stupidly/grossly overpay.

I wonder what could it be that all these teams

Keep letting a really important piece of a hustling player on vet min deals go


Season after season after season, especially one with playoff exeprience

What could it be by golly

Well in 2010 GSW had him, and they had David Lee too

In 2011-2012 the Pacers had him and in 2012-2013 drafted Miles Plumlee

In 2012-2013 the Pelicans-Wolves-Bulls had him

and

In 2013-2014 signed Alex Ajinca[Pelicans], In 2013-2014 drafted Robbie Hummel[Wolves] In 2013-2014 Taj Gibson inks extension[Bulls]


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You see what I did there and where I'm going?

He's a professional. He will never be a star player, but he's a professional. Lance Thomas and Galloway need that credit too. This is the culture change we need.

Agree. Fisher talked about the three new guys and the change they have brought. Hardaway talked about it and Jason Smith spoke about Lou specifically.

Me too- I hoped we'd get him for a few seasons now. The other guy we messed up by not signing that season was Chris Anderson- he wanted to come here but we didn't want to take the risk due to the police stuff. He would have been a perfect replacement in the playoffs when Tyson pulled his usual playoff disappearance act.
